Yes, water has the property to spread. When poured on a flat surface, it forms a thin layer and spreads out. This happens because of its liquid state, which allows its molecules to move freely.
In the solid state, water (ice) is rigid with fixed shape. As a liquid, water flows freely and takes the container’s shape. In the gaseous state (steam), water molecules move rapidly and spread out in all directions.
Yes, the smell of food spreads without entering the kitchen because of diffusion. The aroma, carried by air particles, travels from the kitchen to surrounding areas, allowing us to detect it without being close.
To quickly change ice to water, increase its temperature above 0°C. This can be done by applying heat, placing the ice in a warm environment, or using hot water, causing the ice to melt faster.
